[QUOTE="JohnEGreen, post: 2439518, member: 223921"] I believe the question was whats wrong with the yellow ones in the context of what the OP had read the only difference as fat as I can see is in the E numbers I had a couple of great aunts also they did not live quite so long as yours due to diabetic complications but did live long enough to lose a limb or two. As far as Jelly babies are concerned you can [I]scoff [/I]as much as you like it is entirely up to you.:) Edit to add it was the blue smaries that got banned. "The distinctive blue Smartie, dropped amid concerns over artificial additives nearly three years ago, is to make a comeback, it was revealed today. Nestle, which manufactures Smarties, reformulated the ingredients of the multi-coloured sugar-coated chocolate sweets to rid them of artificial colours and flavours." this dated 2008 But then there's this " In 2006, Nestlé decided to remove artificial coloring from their sweets. The problem was that, even though they found a way to replicate and produce all the other colors by using natural alternatives, blue was proven to be more than a challenge. In fact, it took them three years but they eventually found a way to extract the blue coloring. The color comes from a seaweed called Spirulina. Due to this solution, blue Smarties are back and just like the rest of the range, free of artificial colors and flavors." So who knows. [/QUOTE]
